"The
governor's proposal, which provides for selected state institutions to
opt for private institution status, is very significant. The details of
this alternative will become clearer as discussions regarding this proposal
take place at the state level. We await additional clarification of the
proposal in order to evaluate its feasibility for The Citadel. As always,
we are concerned about the impact such a change would have on The Citadel
family -- students, faculty, staff and alumni. Also, we must evaluate
how such a change would impact our mission."
